"Cohen: "So I want to do a little bit of a lightning round here, because it's not often I'll get access to the president of the United States. So a couple questions here. Are aliens real?" Obama: "They're real, but I haven't seen them, and they're not being kept in, what is it?" Cohen: "Area 51?" Obama: "Area 51. There's no underground facility,"
""Based on the tremendous interest shown, I will be directing the Secretary of War, and other relevant Departments and Agencies, to begin the process of identifying and releasing Government files related to alien and extraterrestrial life, unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), and unidentified flying objects (UFOs),""
""Well, I don't know if they're real or not," Trump said. "I can tell you (Obama) gave classified information. He's not supposed to be doing that. He made a big mistake. He took it out of classified information.""
President Donald Trump announced plans to direct multiple U.S. government agencies to identify and release files related to aliens, extraterrestrial life, unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) and unidentified flying objects (UFOs). The announcement followed former President Barack Obama saying "They're real" during a rapid-fire interview exchange about Area 51 and underground facilities. Aboard Air Force One, Trump declined to confirm aliens but said Obama disclosed classified information and called that a mistake. Trump suggested declassification could resolve the issue and posted on Truth Social instructing the Secretary of War and relevant departments to begin releasing related government files.
